FABRIC FOR LINING GARMENTS, 86C.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 271,539, dated January 30, 1883.

Application filed September 16, 1882. (No model.) I

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ALONZO W. STRAW, of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee, and in the State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fabrics for Lining Garments, &c.; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention relates to fabrics which are principally used for the lining of wearing-apparel, and will be fully described hereinafter.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a section of a piece of cloth embodying my invention, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the same.

A is the backing or cloth, and B B the lining,which consists of a strip or strips ofcarded wool, and this may be secured to the backing A, as shown in Fig. 1, by stitches a or any other suitable means, so as to project up from it in i'olds b,'as shown at B, Fig. l, and then the tops of these folds are shaved or clipped down to the point indicated by dotted line 0, but not entirely through the sheet of batting. This will leave partot' the fold intact while the cut ends ofthe wool will expand out, and those of one fold mingle with the cut ends of the next on either side, as shown at B, and form a dense and even surfacesuch as shown in Fig. 2---that will completely line the backing and will be very elastic and warm.

I propose to use my fabric-as a lining for any kind of goods or garments; but it will be especially useful as a lining for rubber goods.

I I am awarethatheretoforecompound fabrics have been made by placing worsted or other yarnsupon any suitable material to form a back and stitching the said yarn thereto in loops, which have been afterward cut, so as to form what is known as a cut-pile fabric, and this I do not claim, as my loops, which are through their tops,:,-.while the lower or inner portions of the said loops remain uncut, thereby leaving the folds of wool continuous next the backing.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A fabric for lining garments, consisting of the backing A, havingcontinuous folds ofwool stitched thereto at thepoints rm, thereby forming loops b'b, said loops being cut half-way through their tops and expanded out to form a dense and even ,surface, while the lower or stanti-ally as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand, on this 11th day of September, 1882, in the presence of two witmesses.
